Garden calendar for March. Sowing calendar for March

The new summer season begins in March. This is a suitable time for carrying out many works and treatments in the garden, and therefore on our website today is the lunar sowing calendar for March 2020 for gardeners and gardeners. We will tell you the most favorable days for planting seeds for seedlings and what work needs to be done in the garden.

First you need to inspect the garden, check how the plants overwinter, especially taking into account young plantings, and what to do with them. Carry out the first seasonal cleaning at your summer cottage. If weather permits, remove winter protection from plants.

It is best to do this on a fairly warm but cloudy day. Pruning ornamental and fruit bushes in the garden - cut off frozen, broken and damaged branches. Remove old raspberry shoots - it is better to cut them and burn them, as they are often a wintering site for pests and a source of disease.

March is also the time to plant ornamental shrubs that shed their leaves (including roses - later in the month) and fruit bushes such as raspberries and blackberries. This month you can plant perennials that bloom in summer and fall, as well as divide old plants. The second and third months of spring are a good time for propagation by plant cuttings.

March is the time for sowing many ornamental and useful plants. You can still sow petunias and verbena at the beginning of the month. The middle of the month is a good date for sowing purslane, snapdragons, and sweet peas.

At the end of the month, in the southern regions it is already possible to sow cold-resistant flowers, such as marigolds, poppies, cornflowers, California poppies or mallows directly into open ground. Seeds are also sown for seedlings of early vegetables.

The basic rule of the lunar calendar for a gardener is not to sow or replant anything during the new or full moon. During this period, plants are most vulnerable to any external influences and experience stress hard.

It is favorable to sow all plants that produce crops above the ground on the waxing moon - these days are favorable for the future harvest on the ground part of the plants. To get a harvest in the underground part - bulbs, tubers, sowing or planting of such plants is done on the days of the waning moon.

The gardener's lunar calendar for March 2020 includes work in greenhouses. In the last week of the month, favorable days will come for sowing seedlings in them: tomatoes, peppers, pumpkins, cabbage, cucumbers and even eggplants.

Sowing pepper seedlings

• In the first ten days of March, pepper is sown for seedlings: first, early varieties, then late-ripening ones. It is best to grow pepper seedlings without picking, so as not to injure the sissies. The root system of pepper does not recover well after transplantation, so it is better to sow the seeds immediately in large containers, peat pots or in homemade sleeves - cups for seedlings.
• In the central zone, peppers are sown on all March holidays: from the 8th to the 12th. Pepper seedlings need to be provided with enough light and moisture. Planted in the ground at an air temperature outside the window of 13-16 °C.
